To unify a group of women from diverse cultures for one common goal: success in education. To achieve our goal, we base our beliefs on our unique backgrounds with the purpose of building a strong sisterhood that will assist us in our success. We invite all women of diverse backgrounds to join our sisterhood and share their beliefs, as well as to gain knowledge from our multicultural heritage.

Our principles are Education, Success, Culture, Service and Sisterhood. Our organization embodies these principles in a number of ways:

Sisterhood – Zeta Sigma Chi is based on enduring friendships that are fostered between our members. Together as one, our sisters are able to develop a deep understanding of diverse cultures while building bonds that last a lifetime.

Multiculturalism – Our organization has been built by open-minded women who seek to learn about other cultures while teaching others about their own heritage. We believe multiculturalism is a philosophy that extends beyond race, ethnicity, or nationality, and that all women can contribute to, and learn from, the array of backgrounds within Zeta Sigma Chi.

Success in Education – Zeta Sigma Chi strives for academic success and high graduation rates among our members, who go on to excel in professions in a wide range of fields. Our sisterhood includes doctors, lawyers, television producers, authors, educators and many more women who are thriving in their careers – all of whom are able to provide guidance to our undergraduate and graduate members as they pursue their education.

Community Service – Zeta Sigma Chi seeks to uplift the communities and universities where our chapters reside, as well as around the world. Whether volunteering with local Ronald McDonald House Charities, or founding Building Botswana, a charity whose mission is to partner with local natives in rural Botswana to build hope for poverty-stricken communities, our sisters believe in making the world a better place.

Social Justice – As part of our commitment to community service, our members are actively encouraged to participate in domestic and international social justice causes. We believe activism is crucial in allowing our members to express their diverse ideas, as well as to improve the lives of people both inside and outside our organization. Our belief in this principle is reflected in our annual “Keeping the Dream Alive” Award, presented to sisters who pursue social justice issues with passion and dedication.
